Yesterday Conor McGregor did some serious beefing with multiple people during media day in Las Vegas.
McGregor met with his good old buddy Paulie Malignaggi in a brief confrontation that resulted in both fighters losing their cool in front of media and security.
That wasn’t all.
The Irishman also crossed paths with his upcoming opponent. Floyd Mayweather was exiting the stage as McGregor was making his way towards it. A short-lived scuffle immediately ensued after they saw each other.

Apparently, they were supposed to have a face-off on stage but that did not come to fruition. McGregor explained what happened.
“We were supposed to have a face-off and there was no face-off. I seen him and I go ‘you afraid of a face-off?’ and there was a little bit pushing and shoving. That’s it. The usual handbags we call it,” commented McGregor.
Some reports also say that the Irishman had a little confrontation with a heckling fan as well during media day.
The official weigh-ins will be on Friday and the fight itself on Saturday.
